B-cell function in patients with ME/CFS

Posted on 12/11/2015 by wames

Research summary: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a  heterogeneous condition of unknown etiology characterized by multiple symptoms including fatigue, post-exertional malaise and cognitive impairment, lasting for at least 6 months. Recently, two clinical trials of B-cell depletion therapy with rituximab (anti-CD20) reported convincing … Continue reading →
